Don’t Make Permanent Lifestyle Changes.

Once people achieve the weight loss they desire rarely do they maintain
the lifestyle that helped them achieve the result. Often they will say that
it is too difficult to maintain so they return to previous lifestyle habits- the
habits that caused them to put on weight in the first place! This is known
as relapse.
In order to maintain the result it is absolutely essential that you maintain
the habits that helped you achieve it. Of course, you can modify them
slightly and still maintain the result. For example, you can decrease the
frequency of your exercise Stronger Seniors Stretch & Strength Chair Exercise DVD Program- 2 DVD Set - Developed by Anne Burnell, Older Adult Education Provider for the American Council on Exercise (ACE)program so instead of exercising every day
you can now exercise every second day or instead of only having one
‘Treat Meal’ a week you can allow yourself two. Therefore, you are still
maintaining the exercise and healthy eating habits but have modified
them to make them more sustainable for you. Remember these habits
must be maintained for the rest of your life.
